Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves Adolescence is the period of transition from the dependency of childhood to the independence and responsibility of early adulthood Adolescence is considered as a bridging period from childhood to adulthood It is a period of rapid changes in almost all developmental dimensions (Katoch, 2013) Social intelligence is the person’s ability to understand and manage other people and to engage in adaptive social interactions (Thorndike, 1920) The optimal environment for the infant is one in which the child is cared for in his home in the contact of a warm and continuous relationship with her own mother under conditions of varied input 3269 Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2018) 7(11): 3269-3272 Parent’s education plays an important role in all –round development of the
